File Download stops Browsing

I've written a download script to act as a proxy for files on my website so people can't get a direct link. The script works perfect, except that when you try to continue browsing after the file download has started, you can't!

A direct link to the file causes no such problem, you can continue to browse through the site, but when downloading through the download.php file, you can't - it just times out.

This page opens in a blank window and sends the file. Can anyone see why it would slow down/stop the browsing in the parent window? Please help! This is not a browser specific bug either - tested in IE, Firefox, Chrome and Mac based Safari - all with the same results.

This is normal...
Some how you have to start a new session before looping otherwise you won't find any solution for you... I'm searching for another solution as well.. in my case i realy don't want to start another session...
